On 2 November, Russian airstrikes on Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, killed 55 people and injured two emergency workers. The attacks targeted a school turned into a humanitarian hub, where residents sought warmth, power, and hot meals. The school, designated as a "Point of Invincibility," was struck by a three-ton bomb, burying civilians under debris.
Among the dead was Raisa, a 68-year-old cook, who spent two hours under concrete before being rescued. Her partner, Iryna Fokina, also perished. The service stated that Russia repeatedly targets Ukrainian rescuers, with three drone strikes on the site occurring after the initial bombing. The rescuers faced ongoing fire and damage to their vehicles, with two dogs also injured.
